clergymen and laymen, to attend the Con-
ference of the Rock River Association,
which will convene in Morrison, 26th of
August, continuing over Sunday. Those
friends who expect to be with us will
confer a great favor if they will send

us, to Mary Garard, that places of enter
tainment be provided for all. Come

make this one of the most pleasant and
profitable occasions for the upbuilding

We reprint this week, by request, the
Central Traffic Association and condi-
tons of the reduced fare to visitors and
delegates at the Convention in Logans-
port next week. Let the following be
read carefully and instructions followed,
and there will be no trouble in getting
the return certificate.
"When Conventions of regularly organized
societies are held at which not less than fifty
persons are in attendance who present GER
tifcates issued by the Central Traffic Asso-
citation, certifying that they have paid full
fare to the place of meeting, the Vice Chair
man George Fl. Daniels) may authorize the
return of such parties at one third the high
est limited fare, via the route traversed In
going to the place of meeting.
"Blank certificates are kept on hand by
ticket agents of all lines, members of this
Association, and they will be furnished by
the ticket agents upon application at the
time tickets are purchased.
"The excursion rate for the return journey
will be granted, provided the Secretary of
the Convention fills up the certificates at the
point at which the Convention is held. stat
ing that there has been an attendance of fifty
or more persons holding receipted certif-
Gates, that full fare has been paid for the
journey to the place of meeting, and that the
Secretary signs the reverse side of each GER
tlficate certifying that the holder thereof has
been in recent attendance upon the Conven-
ton.
"Tickets for return journey will be fur
nished only on certificates dated not more
than three days before the date the Conven-
ton assemblies and presented within three
days after its adjournment, and all return
tickets will be for continuous trips; no stop
over privileges being allowed on tickets sold
less than full fares"
Br. John adds: "We hope that all par
ties desiring to attend the Convention
will carefully study the foregoing instruc-
tons and be governed accordingly. Be
sure to start right, armed with certifi-
cate showing you have paid full fare
to the Convention, then we can arrange
to return you at one-third fare. 1t will
be impossible to rectify mistakes after
you reach the Convention. So we say
again, read the directions carefully and
follow them to the letter. Buy your
ticket in good season SO as to give the
local agent plenty OF time to fill it up
properly"

The congregations comprising Rev. E..
F. Pember's circuit; viz: Springboro,
Ridgeville, Mason and Montgomery, held
a picnic at the Lebanon Fair Grounds,
July %. Hot and dusty as it was, the
number present was estimated to- be not
less than eight hundred. This would
prove that Universalism as social power,
was not dead in Miami Association. We
trust that the annual meeting at Hamil-
ton, next Saturday and Sunday, will give
equal proof OF spiritual life.
The Winchester Association will be
held at Westville, September l6, IL, and
IS. Rev. E. Moore and the writer, will
be present, and Rev. j. FL. Blackford, a
former pastor, has been invited. The Ex-
ecutive Committee OF the Association are
endeavoring to secure large and useful
meeting.
Universalism is Frequently Charged
with encouraging laxity in morals, and
disregard of the Sabbath. We do not
accept the accusation as true; but regret
to know that the exceptional cases bring
great reproach upon our church. Strange
to say, after accusing our faith with being
the cause of great evil, our partialist
friends expect, with singular inconsist-
ency, its advocates to live better lives
than their own teachings secure. We be-
lieve, however, that Universalists should
be strict in observance of the sacred day;
carefully avoiding attendance at Sunday
picnics where their example would be
evil, and whereby their own purity would
be furnished. The tendencies OF the
times to dissipation and evil in many forms
are sad enough, without Universalists as
Stunning any direct responsibility there
for.
Who Has the Money!
In making some inquiry regarding the
former Universalist church building at
Republic, Seneca county, we were in
formed that it had been sold to the Gath
olics. Our informant could not tell us In
whose hands the proceeds were placed,
nor by what authority the building had
been sold. This is another argument for
the speedy completion of our Permanent
Fund, so that our State Superintendent,
can devote all OF his time in caring for
church interests of every kind. There
are several non-used or abandoned
churches, liable to go as the Republic
Church has gone. A safe rule would be
TO require all churches to deed their
property to the State Convention, when
seeking its fellowship.

A Dog that Climbed Trees.

A friend of mine who lived in Sierra
Madre mountains had collie that was
an inveterate tree-climber and woe to the
squirrel that climbed up trunk that
Jack could scale! OF course, straight
trees were out of the question; but one
that grew at an angle of forty-fve degrees
and had rough bark was quickly
mounted by the collie.
This curious habit was the result of
his passion for squirrel hunting, and the
moment one of those little animals would
dart up ii favorable tree, Jack was after
it. scram bling up so high that he was
often found by his master thirty or forty
feet from the ground. barking fiercely at
the squirrel, which had sought refuge on
a limb beyond the reach of the dog.
In returning, Jack would settle close
to the tree trunk and back down, inch
by inch, exercising great precaution, we'll
knowing that with his short claws, he
was at disadvantage. When within
few feet of the bottom he would slide
and scramble to the ground.-[St Nicho-

Origin OF "Mr.- and "Mrs.'

The history of those everyday titles OF
Mr. and Mrs, which are now the COM
mon property of everyone, is not without
interest, though in some of its steps 1t
is little obscure.
In the earlier times of our history the
ordinary man was simply William or
John; that is to say, he had merely a
/" handle before it or surname after
it.
Some means of distinguishing one
John or one William from another John
or another William became necessary.
Nicknames, derived from mans trade,
or from his dwelling-place, or from some
personal popularity, were tackled on to
their Christian names, and plain John
became John Smith. AS yet there were
no ''Misters in the land.
Some John Smith accumulated more
wealth than the bulk of his fellowS-be-
came, perhaps, landed proprietor, or
an employer of hired labor. Then he
began to be called in the Norman-F1ench
of the day the {" Maistre" of this place
or of that, of these or those workmen.
In time the "Maistre" or Master"
as it soon became. got tackled on before
his name, and he became Master Smith,
and his wife was Maistress Smith.
But gradually the sense of possession
was lost sight of and the title was con-
ferred upon any man who had attained
social distinction of any kind, whether
by mere possession of wealth. or by hold
ing some position of more or less con-
sideration and Importance.
1t is only within comparatively modern
times that the term came to be con-
sidered an almost Indispensable adjunct
to everyone's name.
Maistress Smith soon became Mistress

out of her cage, cried out in an authori-
